Hi Laura
I am your 2nd cousin. I grew up with your Dad and your Uncles and Aunt in New York. I’m sure you have heard your Dad talk about Uncle Kenny and family. I saw Dwight’s post about your so I ordered it on Amazon and just finished it. I was taken back so many years. I went to school at Chautauqua, sang and played at all the County Festivals, went to so many concerts at the Amphitheater and worked my way through college working at the Chautauqua Diner right outside the gates!..Thank you for taking me home!

Your book was amazing, the characters were really well defined. It was obvious that you had done a lot of research into it. But the ending was left open, are you publishing a sequel? I would it keen to read more Robin and Carter

I agree with aru! that ending almost broke my heart. I need some finality and I need a happily ever after. Please write a sequel and I promise I will spend all of my free time making everyone I meet read your book!

Absolutely loved this book and read it in one sitting! Like everyone else, I’m definitely hoping for a sequel!! I love how much this novel explores into the deaf community and their language and nuances. Did you have to do extensive research or do you have any personal experience?

Thank you so much. I did have to do extensive research! The original idea for the novel was sparked by a Deaf woman who came to my coffee shop regularly and wrote her order on a notepad. Little did I know she would become one of my sensitivity readers later down the road! When I was editing the book, I took ASL classes at the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, and really loved being immersed in the culture. It was such a welcoming place full of such PATIENT teachers! I was so honored last year when they asked me to come visit with their senior class, who was reading Song of Summer in their English class. Sequel and spin-off ideas pop in my head all the time! I’m excited for when I have time to devote to novels again.
